A Syrian military source said falsified reports
blamed its warplanes and Russia’s for the attacks. US-backed terrorists
bore full responsibility.

Three children and six medical staff were among
the casualties. The ICRC said escalated fighting worsened the humanitarian
situation for tens of thousands of area residents.

Other Aleppo area terrorist attacks in the last
24 hours killed at least 49 civilians. Cessation of hostilities is more myth
than reality.

No matter what efforts are made to revive peace
talks, they’re effectively dead going nowhere. Pro-Western mediator Staffan de
Mistura wants another round begun on May 10.

He urged Russia and America to try
“revitali(ing) what they have created and which is still alive but barely.”
Both sides are intractably apart. No responsible government would agree to
unacceptable US/Saudi-backed opposition demands.

Obama wants war, not peace, deploying hundreds
of special forces to northern Syria illegally on the phony pretext of
combatting ISIS. US warplanes continue attacking infrastructure and government
sites - along with recruiting terrorist fighters and arming them.

Their scourge is one of humanity’s greatest
threats. They thrive because of foreign support - from America its creator and
rogue allies.

They can’t survive without it - reality media
scoundrels suppress, maintaining the fiction of US-led efforts to combat it.
